Yes they did but not that many years ago. While I didn't go through a

still used in my times too.

I had twelve years that ended in 1993, and the story of nuns and
rulers were a very popular story, but pretty much urban legend. Pre-
Vatican II, as they liked to call it.

One of the schools I considered for my son had the reputation of beating the students in older times. Some others said that some of the nuns still do it, while others where sent to other place. That was the first thing I asked them. "We don't do that _anymore_ ", the told me. Obviously he's now in a different school, just in case.
